  • A cityscape of the Old City of Jerusalem from the cemetery on the Mount of Olives. The Islamic mosque of the Dome of the Rock is in the center with the gold dome.
  • Small papers are stuffed into every nook and cranny between stones on the Western Wall in Jerusalem with prayers from people all over the world.
  • An underground cavern at Bet Guvrin in Israel containing the stone chambers of an ancient press used to make olive oil.
  • Caverns At Bet Guvrin
  • A series of large stone coffins or sarcophagi line the walls of an extensive series of tunnels carved into the soft chalk or limestone of the burial area near Bet She'arim in Israel.
  • A patch of sunlight illuminates the mosaic of the head of Dionysus in the ancient Roman villa in the historic city of Zippori in Israel.
  • A cluster of green grapes hang from vines on a wood trellis in Galilee, Israel.
  • The cysterns of the ancient city of Zippori in Israel provided storage for water in ancient times and were carved out of soft limestone and covered with mortar. The reservoir extends for hundreds of meters in a canyon that is 20-40 feet tall.
  • A set of storage shells holding duffel bags for soldiers out on exercises in the Golan Heights.
  • A still life with two bunches of lavender, a bronze metal spice box and other items as seen in a table in Zefat, Israel.
  • A narrow stone staircase rises through the back alleys of Zefat with a bit of glow on the limestone. Zefat is a historic town in Isreal, known for its mysticism and the scholarship of the people who studied there.
  • The laundry facility in the Atlit Detainment Camp in Israel. The camp was used by the British after WWII to hold Jewish immigrants who had entered the country illegally.
  • Strands of barbed wire are tied together to form a barrier. In the background, one of the buildings at the British-managed Atlit prison camp in Israel is just barely visible.
  • Roman Aqueduct At Caesaria
  • A set of stone pillars standing near the coast at the ancient Roman city of Caesaria in Israel. The stones glow against the gloomy skies in the background.
  • The Roman theater at Caesaria in Israel has been restored and is now used for modern performances. The tiered rows of seating provide a clean, repetitive pattern that arcs into the distance.
  • Two cans of machine oil, one red and one green, rest on top of an old piece of greasy machinery that was used to make ammunition at the Ayalon Institute in Israel.
  • In Jerusalem, as sundown approaches on Shabbat, the plaza at the Western Wall becomes crowded with people. The Dome of the Rock and a minaret are visible in the upper left. (Scanned from black and white film.)
  • One of several of the Roman encampments that circled the fortress at Masada is still clearly visble after almost 2000 years.
  • A view of the old city of Jerusalem as seen over the graveyards on the Mount of Olives. The Dome Of the Rock is in the center just over the old city walls. (Scanned from black and white film.)
